ALL THAT S LEFT TO DO NOW IS TAKE THE LEAP!

Transcription

1 A tandem skydive is the most popular and frequently chosen type of jump by novice and first time thrill-seekers you don t need any previous experience at all to do this jump! For this particular skydive you ll be attached to a fully qualified instructor who controls your jump from start to finish; they will do all the hard work for you, allowing you to catch your breath and enjoy the ride! Before the skydive begins your instructor will provide you with a training session, show you all the equipment that is used and talk you through what s going to happen, allowing you to feel comfortable and at ease with your upcoming adventure. After the training session is over you ll prepare to fly up to over 2 and half miles above the ground with 4-6 like-minded tandem skydivers - this is where your adventure really starts to get real! Once you re at the correct altitude, your instructor will let you know it s time to move over to the exit door of the plane ALL THAT S LEFT TO DO NOW IS TAKE THE LEAP! Your exhilarating free-fall will give you a feeling like no other as you descend (at 120 mph!) before your instructor deploys your parachute, giving you the chance to really settle into your skydive. From here you will experience a peaceful canopy ride as you slowly glide back down to earth to meet your supporters with a smile on your face, before picking up your well-deserved certificate, happy in the knowledge you have completed your Summer Solstice skydive! This will be an experience you never forget but if you wanted to capture your incredible moment then you can hire a cameraman to document your amazing day with a video and photographs.

4 TANDEM SKYDIVE The following sponsorship system makes it easy for you to take part and ensures that you do not have to pay all of your sponsorship money in advance. At all airfields your jump and training costs must be covered on the day, this can be with cash or card unless you have an online donation page which you have informed us of. Your money to charity is not due until four weeks after you have completed your jump but if you have raised funds offline you will be asked to provide a post-dated cheque at the airfield. Remember, as long as you raise the minimum sponsorship level for your jump ( 395 for a tandem jump, 450 for airfields in Scotland and Northern Ireland), you can recover both the cost of the booking deposit and the jump from your sponsorship money - which means you get to jump for FREE! Payment for your jump will be required on the day which varies from airfield to airfield but is generally between You must also provide the remaining sponsorship money due to the charity but this can be post-dated by up to four weeks. This post-dated method of payment makes it as easy as possible for you, allowing you plenty of time to collect your sponsorship money after the jump before it is due to the charity. Precise instructions on how to operate the above system (including how much to pay your local airfield on the day and how much sponsorship money is due to the charity) will be sent to you upon receipt of your reservation form and booking deposit. NOTE: We cannot start organising your jump for you until you send in your reservation form and appropriate booking deposit - please do this as soon as possible so that we can give you the date of your choice and so that you can start preparing yourself for what has often been described as the experience of a lifetime! Our Summer Solstice skydive will be held at Hinton Airfield and we can t wait for you to join us on the day!
